A Splash of Reality

Here is the latest news from Deanna O’Shaughnessy and the team that bottles Nh2o spring water at Sunny Slope Farm in Alton (slightly edited for clarity - if you'd like more background on the story, please refer to earlier posts.)

Hello dear friends and family and supporters of Sunny Slope Farm & Nh2o,

We have had the good news from the bank and from Belknap County Economic Development Council (that helped the bottling company get started by supporting efforts to secure funding) that if we can raise the $53,000 by May 30 (the date currently scheduled for our property auction for unpaid debt) to pay-off the Profile Bank credit line, they will amend our other existing (debt) notes so we can pay them over time, and we will be able to keep our family farm and our ability to make a living on it - and possibly to even be able to still harvest our beautiful Spring Water! What a blessing!

Now all we have to do is raise the $53,000!

Last week we received a simple envelope in the mail, There was no note, hardly a return address on the envelope, and it contained a check for $500 from one of our neighbors here in Alton!

We felt so blessed and humbled that a gentleman who we haven’t seen in nearly two years and only remembers me as Deanna “Chamberlain” would exercise so much generosity on our behalf!

On Saturday I worked the Newmarket Farmers’ Market, and (no pride left at this point) I even put a glass vase out on my table with a sign, "Please Help Save Sunny Slope Farm!" I practically tackled everyone who passed by and if they didn’t buy a bottle of Nh2o, I asked if they would be willing to make a contribution to help us save our family farm. People were so kind ~ they put in dollar bills, and five and ten dollar bills, even a $20 or two. People who only know Nh2o a little bit, people who don’t even know us or Sunny Slope Farm, donated a total of over $163! One of our regular customers, bless her heart, wrote us a check for $53 and said, “I wish I could do more, but here is 100^th of 1% of that $53,000”.

The tears burst into my eyes!

And, That is it! That is what we are asking! If everyone could send a check for $53 ~ not the whole $53,000, not even 1% or the $53,000 ~ just a check for $53, together we could raise the money we need to cover the shortfall we are facing right now.

We know it sounds overwhelming, (tell us about it!) - to finish raising $53,000 in fewer than 10 days, but it isn’t impossible. No one person has to rescue the farm. Together, we can all rescue Sunny Slope if we pull together over the next seven days to gather, one crumpled dollar-by-dollar, by $50 by $100 into the hat - we can make a difference if we each just put our spirits and our hearts and our pennies together!

I know each and every one of you has his or her own burdens to bear but I also know that when we reach out from that clenched place where we fear lack and loss and give our neighbor a helping hand, we feel the better, the lighter, the more graced with abundance for it!

Please help us save Sunny Slope Farm! We can do this together, one loving heart at a time!

Deanna and Tim and Fae
